I am Don Braegger - I also voted Opposed - AMA

First of all, I'm new to reddit so as far as posting publicly, don't know how.

Secondly, contrary to what you might think, I respect their right to do what they are doing. I don't agree with them but I respect their right to do so. I don't like their method but if they are sincere about the need to shout it out, then so be it.

You and I obviously are not going to agree with regard to Pres Ucthdorf. Who cares? I love and trust him; you think him and the rest of the leadership liars. I respect your right to believe that. So, I want o work off your perspective. I am going to assume you are right that from Joseph Smith to Pres Monson to everyone in between, they are liars. If the Mormon Church is bunk and there leaders are liars and their followers are complete fools, why does it matter if, in the end, we are all saved, as the Bible says, solely by grace and by our accepting Christ. If that is true, and I, as well as everyone other followers of the LDS Faith, are deceived but have accepted Christ, then in the end, what does it matter? What oppose, why sustain? If, in the end, all I had to do was accept, then I and the rest of us sheeple did was work a little harder than the rest of Christianity but in the end, we are all going to the same place. So, I say, let the liars lie and the deceived be deceived and I'll see you and everyone else in Heaven.

So, my question remains, why fight? Just believe what you want and I'll believe what I want and when we all figure out that Joe and Tom have lied and continue to lie we will continue to accept Christ and be saved. So again, why fight? We are all saved and liars be damned.
